ANZ and agency Special has launched a new integrated brand platform, encouraging all Australians to become “Financial Wellbeings” by profiling a series of everyday Australians who have a passion for savings.

By dramatising the positive feelings associated with making smart money decisions, the campaign makes becoming a better “Financial Wellbeing” something that feels attainable and desirable, regardless of our current attitude or behaviours towards money.

This campaign also signals the start of a more consistent approach to advertising for the brand, through the introduction of the brand character “Pete”.

“Our new brand platform brings to life ANZ’s commitment to improving the financial wellbeing of our people, customers and communities – by helping them make the most of their money throughout their lives,” said ANZ CMO, Sweta Mehra.

“Special has created a campaign that lets us have a direct conversation about the desire to be better with your money, but still keep it light, human and relatable.”

Rebecca Stambanis, strategy partner at Special said making good financial decisions was not something our culture cares very much for.

“In truth, we often portray it as a nerdy or boring endeavour. But we all know a friend who is savvy when it comes to their money habits – no matter how much they have or make – and we want to know all their tricks.

“This campaign is about championing those behaviours and making it something that feels attainable and desirable for all of us. We also believed this was a great opportunity to bring back ANZ’s more playful tone of voice, which is so different from the rest of the Big Four,” added Stambanis.

The campaign encourages people to improve their own financial habits by visiting the ANZ Financial Wellbeing Hub.
